The more I see of the G2 deco'd Combaticons, the more I want them. =P~

Swindle and Vortex look suitably awesome in those colors, and I really dig hovertank Brawl.

My only real complaint is that Bruticus doesn't have a big purple chest piece and his chest is yellow.

Looks like only Vortex is missing his chest symbol. However, there's one on his wing.

I love that it actually has the G2 symbols. I'm committed to the SDCC version though. I don't feel like I need two.

that Prime is okay looking for what it is. pretty nice paint job.

G2 Bruticus is pretty cool. Vortex looks amazing, Brawl and Blast Off aren't too bad either.

I really dig Prime's new paint job. I may have to shell out for that. G2 Bruticus is also really cool-looking. It's so gaudy but so AWESOME.

Bruticus. So much G2 goodness, =P~

I am even happier now that I have both of these preordered. I like the fact that they gave the Jetwing Jet pack a more integral to the figure paint. The wings look more like his trailer transformed, and the guns have that energon glowing paint fade.

As for G2 Style FOC Bruticus, I just have to say that this was a totally righteous idea. Home run on both of these for Amazon.

Sorry though that I have to say Year of the Dragon Ops, not so much IMHO.

Keep em comin though.

Hasbro must be...listening to us? I begged for an Ultra Magnus and I got three, and begged for a Jetwing Optimus and I got one with a cooler paint job.

I like the stripes on Prime's wings, but not the colors of the guns. Too much orange, looks kind of tacky.

Bruticus is cool but I don't do the G2 thing. I kind of wish this was the SDCC exclusive and the G1/Game accurate one was on Amazon instead.

really glad i got that Bruticus preorder in
cost effective and damn cool paint job

I like the new deco of the guns and wings.

But please, only the wings are movie accurate. Why the empty gatlin guns? Saw DOTM 2 days earlier (for the 5 time) and they aren't miniguns :s
Then again, Ultimate Optimus' gun is inaccurate as hell. + The size is horrible, tops DOTM Megatron by far, but is dwarfed by Leader Sentinel Prime :s

Why Hasbro, Y U NO give us Leader DOTM Megatron & Shockwave?

Looks like they're phasing out the Leader Class in favor of going just Deluxe/Voyager and Cyberverse.

The Jetpack is not even close to the movie version.
The toy version was based solely off concept drawings, and not the final
movie CGI render. Ultimate? yeah he is solely a toy and not based on anything from the movie, not even a concept.

Still, Jetwing Prime is a BAMF, and is only dwarfed in awesomeness slightly by Striker Prime.

Woohoo! He's back on Amazon

!

Preordered. Now I just have to get the SDCC version from HTS and I'm all set (until Takara makes their repaint(s)

).

by **RAcast** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:05 pm

WOOHOO! I just happened to look and I snagged myself a preorder, sweet sweet victory~! I can't WAIT for this Bruticus, he looks so great. And in sweet, sweet, glorious G2 colors. =P~

Wow, that post made me realize that TakaraTomy will probably have a FoC Bruticus of their own. If it's different enough, I might just own 4 versions of this mold... :BOOM:

Takara's likely to do 2 or 3, eHobby may even do one.

FoC Ruination anyone

?

Pre-ordered! I canNOT pass up that price --and-- being freed from having to hunt them all down individually.

'Course, the drawback being I have to wait to nearly December.
Totally worth it.

Exactly! I mean, that's a notably more reasonable price per deluxe, and this deco is so VERY much better than the retail.

Courtesy of Seibertron.com member Ruthless Cynic we now know the release date of Amazon exclusive G2 Bruticus, which is estimated to be November 19th. Unfortunately for those who have yet to put in their pre-orders for this figure, Amazon.com is now currently out of orders. Looks like you'll have to look for other means now!
